Simplify and solving practice 2

kodGreya [7K]

Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15

The following are the ages (years) of 5 people in a room:

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The person is 14 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply 6 times 18 which is 108

2. Add all numbers together in list which is 94

3. Subtract 94 from 108 which is 14

4. To check answer add 94 plus 14 and divide by 6 and you will get the median which is 18, now you know this answer is correct.

Water is drained out of tank, shaped as an inverted right circular cone that has a radius of 4cm and a height of 16cm, at the ra

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

$\frac{dh}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\pi}cm/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

From similar triangles, see diagram in attachment

$\frac{r}{4}=\frac{h}{16}$

We solve for $r$ to obtain,

$r=\frac{h}{4}$

The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

We substitute the value of $r=\frac{h}{4}$ to obtain,

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{h}{4})^2h$

This implies that,

$V=\frac{1}{48}\pi h^3$

We now differentiate both sides with respect to $t$ to get,

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{\pi}{16}h^2 \frac{dh}{dt}$

We were given that water is drained out of the tank at a rate of $2cm^3/min$

This implies that $\frac{dV}{dt}=-2cm^3/min$ .

Since we want to determine the rate at which the depth of the water is changing at the instance when the water in the tank is 8cm deep, it means $h=8cm$ .

We substitute this values to obtain,

$-2=\frac{\pi}{16}(8)^2 \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow -2=4\pi \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow -1=2\pi \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\frac{dh}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\pi}$

Suzan sees a bag of marbles, she grabs a handful at random. She has seen a bag containing four red marbles, four green ones, two

Rainbow [258]

The answer to this question would be: 85/99

In this question, Suzan is taking 8 marble from a bag containing 4 red marbles, 4 green ones, 2 white ones, and 2 purple ones. The total marble in the bag should be: 4+4+2+2= 12. The question is how much the probability to get <4 red marble. In this question, the green, white and purple is not specified so you can join them into not red group. It will be easier to find the probability of "have all the red one" which mean Suzan take 4 red marble and 4 not-red marble<span>

Ways to take 8 marble out of 12=12C5= 12!/4!8!= </span>495
Ways to take 4 red marble out of 4= 4C4= 1
Ways to take 4 not red marble out of 8= 8C4= 8!/4!4!= 70

Probability to <span>have all the red ones= 1*70/495= 14/99
</span>Then the probability does not have all the red ones= 99/99 - 14/99= 85/99
